Taken for Granted

Do you see, there’s a mighty ghost in me

Can you tell, which is Heaven, which is Hell

You surrendered your heart like an actor in a play

Now words can’t describe what I want to say

How does it feel to be taken for granted

To be pushed around, so fooled, so blinded

To be ripped off from freedom of choice

Cause you believed they were your own true voice

She said, “I never stopped loving you”

I just thought I knew what’s best for you

I wanted to protect you from your own saboteur

And keep your heart untouched and pure

Now I loathe myself for doing this to you

I was a ‘know it all’ like some sort of guru

Would you find it in your heart to forgive my mistake?

So I’d forgive myself and ease away the heartache!

The Loss of a Loved One

In my heart I feel like I’ve lost control

In my body there’s more than a broken Soul

In the skies there lives an angel or more

Cause I’m sure you passed through heaven’s door

I swear I could see you in the smiles of a child

I could sense your Spirit running in the wild

I could feel your touch when I close my eyes

Cause memories live in our bodies and minds

I know you are safe as an Angel of God

And you watch over me as you sit on a Cloud

And the tears I shed over your Loss

Are now rivers of Love for us to cross

I need to make peace with loosing you

Cause I can’t wake up trying to find you

I can’t keep seeing you in the faces of strangers

Cause we live in a world that’s filled with changes

I need to understand that you’re always here

Your Soul is eternal, all days of the year

You live in my heart and the hearts of All

Cause we All are made from Divine's Soul
